Ashville Viking Fest - Hall of Heroes

Basic Impression Information:

Time Period: World War Two - Pacific Theater

Campaign: New Georgia

Unit and Specific Action: 4th Raider Bn - Battle of Bairoko

Narrative:

The Midwest Raiders’ impression will be based on the 4th Marine Raider Bn and 2/13 Kure 6th Special Naval Landing Force during the 1st Raider Regiments New Georgia Campaign. Given the dynamic nature of the campaign, the unit’s footprint will be rather small during the day and only include shelter-half “pup” tents at night. During the day, members will conduct (static) patrolling actions while engaging the public either in first or third person to discuss the actions being presented, as well as the conduct of the entirety of the battle.
